“…The interdigital triradius bc (fused triradii b and c) and the interdigital triradius cd, in our experience, are extremely rare in the general population, since neither of them was observed in a large dermatoglyphic survey (Kasai 1951). The fusion of the palmar interdigital triradii, as observed in our patients, may indicate a tendency toward syndactyly which has not been realized embryologically, but which has affected the dermatoglyphic patterns (Schaumann & Alter 1976, Rodewald et al 1979. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that Patient 3 had the interdigital triradius bc and webbing of the third and fourth fingers.…”

Dermatoglyphic analyses of 12 patients with the newly recognized Kabuki make-up syndrome revealed a combination of unusual dermatoglyphic patterns. They included frequent fingertip ulnar loop patterns (72%), the absence of digital triradius c or d (25%), an interdigital triradius bc or cd (33%), hypothenar loop patterns (67%), and ulnar loop patterns in the fourth interdigital area (17%). Other unusual findings included persistence of fingertip pads (58%), a single flexion crease of the fourth or fifth finger (25%), and an excess of minor flexion creases of the palm (92%).

“…The relationship of use of study of fingerprints in respect to various medical disorders has been in use from many years. 2,3 The characteristics of dermatoglyphics develop between the 10 th and 17 th week post conception and thus they reflect the events occurring during second trimester. 4 There were certain changes observed in dermatoglyphic patterns which have prompted researchers to search for dermatoglyphic markers which help in early diagnosis of the disease.…”

Background: Acute Lymphoblastic leukaemia is a malignant condition resulting due to continuous clonally proliferation of progenitors of lymphoid cells. The objective is to identify the association between dermatoglyphics and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and to assess the value of dermatoglyphics as a screening tool. Methods: A case-control study was conducted on a total of around 60 subjects below the age of 15, out of which 30 children were already diagnosed and suffering from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and the other 30 were age and sex matched controls. Fingerprints of 30 affected children were taken through an ink-pad method in both hands, analyzed and compared with controls. Information regarding any significant familial history was obtained. Results: The study suggested with an increased rate of incidence among children of age group 3-4 years and with a male preponderance (63.3%).The findings were found to be statistically significant with an association between whorls and loops among cases and controls with higher frequency of whorls in cases and loops in controls (p value < 0.05), whereas association between whorls, arches and loops, arches was not significant. In quantitative analysis, most of the cases (n=12, 39.6%) had a PII in the range of 16-20 whereas most of the controls (n=22, 72.6%) had it in the range of 11-15, with significant overlapping. Conclusions: The findings are suggestive of association of fingerprint pattern with the patients suffering from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and therefore they might help in early diagnosis of the condition in high risk children and thus can be helpful as a screening tool.

The Aase syndrome

et al. 1986

A 5-month-old boy with congenital hypoplastic anaemia and triphalangeal thumbs, known as the Aase syndrome, is described. In addition he had unilateral cleft lip and palate and abnormal dermatoglyphics. Only ten cases have been reported previously; these are reviewed. This case is the third patient reported to have the Aase syndrome who also has a cleft lip. Bone marrow cultures failed to stimulate production of erythropoietic precursors.
